South Africa vs Australia | 2nd Test | Johannesburg | 17-21 Nov 2011

[*syed59*]

I actually feel for Cummins a little bit. He has had no support from the other end at all.

Think he'd be wishing right now that someone as senior as Mcgrath or Lee would be bowling alongside him.

Well done to him for bowling well in his debut test.

Well played Hashim Amla
Brilliant hundred

Well played Amla

Clarke is really overbowling Cummins, this is his 4th First Class game, one wonders how many times he's even bowled 20 overs in a day.

He is not quite fit enough yet, not surprising.

Noticeably 5kms slower today, Clarke struggling without having Watson to cover ten to fifteen overs a day and Lyon has been underbowled.

Indian pace bowling syndrome

 

[Bhaijaan]

LOL Prince run out
)

 

[Random Aussie]

Well played Amla

Good knock from a quality player.

 

[OZGOD]

Amla runs Prince out for 2. 5/249. Maybe we can keep it to below 300

 

[Random Aussie]

We need a couple more wickets quick and we are in this.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Just 100 more runs and Aussies are done here

 

[Bhaijaan]

Siddle - 45 runs in 20 overs
MJ - 91 runs in 21 overs

 

[Bhaijaan]

18 runs in last 10 overs. Some tight bowling.

 

[Bhaijaan]

:4 to Siddle

Hashim Amla gone, Australia on top here.

Siddle - 45 runs in 20 overs
MJ - 91 runs in 21 overs

nice jinx bro

 

[Bhaijaan]

Great knock comes to an end, second consecutive hundred for Amla. Player

 

[Bhaijaan]

nice jinx bro

Oh no, me again )

 

[Bhaijaan]

It's that man Boucher again, fighting it out for RSA.

 

[Bhaijaan]

:4

Lead - 236

 

[Bhaijaan]

MJ bowls a maiden

 

[Random Aussie]

Four wickets to go. 236 ahead. This might get real interesting.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Boucher departs

RSA in deep trouble. Choke?

 

[Random Aussie]

Wouldn't call this choking both sides have lost wickets in big bunches this series.


The underbowled Lyon gets his second.

 

[*syed59*]

Styen for a 100... anyone ?

 

[Bhaijaan]

styen for a 100... Anyone ?

some pakistani optimism is all we need

 

[Bhaijaan]

Bring on Cummins and finish it off.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lead 246

 

[Bhaijaan]

Is this just a 2 test series?

 

[Bhaijaan]

:4

lead - 250

 

[Random Aussie]

DRS is a joke, yet again. Hopefully no DRS for Indian series.

 

[Bhaijaan]

^ Always been saying this. DRS is not perfect, it's a bloody waste of time and a controversy creator.

 

[Bhaijaan]

:4

Phillander adding some crucial runs here. Lead -256

Totally agree with you

 

[Bhaijaan]

Steyn

 

[Bhaijaan]

For a second Harbie's ghost got into Steyn's body )

 

[*syed59*]

his favourite shot

 

[Random Aussie]

It's hard to see us chasing 250 tbh.

Batters confidence is shot.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lead - 264

Anything above 270 would be tough for Australia.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Hussey and Clarke have got their work cut out.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Mitch is back, with a "brand new Kookaburra, son", says umpire Gould

)

 

[*syed59*]

since Mitch can't seem to bowl on the area he's supposed to...he should have started bowling around the wicket with the new ball.. that would aid him to atleast correct the line to which to bowl

 

[Bhaijaan]

Current partnership - 31 runs

Shouldn't have been , survived an lbw that should have been given out.

 

[Bhaijaan]

:4

Too wide from Cummins

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lead - 272

Getting in RSA's favour now.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

320 will be a good score to defend.

Cummins what a find.

 

[TNA]

DRS is amusing,

the umpires thoughts theres an edge, so does the viewer but the suggestive replays tells otherwise no edge and looked dead plumb. What we got from the majestic DRS surprise ball goin down the legside

which i agree is i filthy joke.

South Africa will want a lead of 300.

 

[Bhaijaan]

:4 by Phillander

Lead - 278

 

[Afridirocks]

dropped catch by clarke

 

[Bhaijaan]

Steyn :dropped

Lead - 280

 

[Strike!]

These runs by the tail may end up being the decisive factor in the match.,

 

[ads101]

Well played Amla

probably his most important test innings to date. Thanks to Amla, 250 plus score will be very hard to chase. Looks like SA will get around 300.

In my eyes, Amla's gone past AB, I now rank him higher. Still not as good as Kallis or Smith, but at least he's got something to aim for.

 

[Bhaijaan]

Partnership of 46

 

[Bhaijaan]

100 up for MJ, what an effort

 

[Bhaijaan]

Maiden after maiden after maiden

 

[Random Aussie]

We have fought well in this series but they are the superior team.

Too many runs to get now

 

[Bhaijaan]

And that's lunch.

 

[velu]

SA lead by 234.. 3 wickets in hand

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Lead by 284, need 16 more runs. This match is getting interesting.

 

[Poison]

Cummins gets two in two immediately after lunch

That's his five fer and amazingly ... his first five fer EVER at the highest level (first class, T20 etc)

 

[Bhaijaan]

Saffers had a bad lunch it seems, well done Cummins

 

[Bhaijaan]

Steyn to Diddle

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lead - 291

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Cummins the next Steyn?

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:6 another one by STEYN, he should open in IPL

 

[Bhaijaan]

LOL, Steyn on fire

 

[Bhaijaan]

And a four

 

[Jo_Don]

Steyn's innings might make the difference. You can't keep this guy out of the match

 

[Bhaijaan]

Boom Boom Steyno !

 

[Bhaijaan]

Lead - 301

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

11 more runs for Steyn's 50, come on boy!

SA - 333/9. Triple Nelson
